Environmental Justice & the Clean Power Plan:

Elevating our concerns on the EPAs Clean Power Plan

Upon the release of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan in June 2014, members of the Forum have been advocating for a strong, final rule that will not only reduce emissions of Carbon Dioxide and other green house gases from coal-fired power plants, but also insure that the rule is carried out in a way that is protective of environmental justice communities. The Agency has just announced that the final Clean Power Plan will not be finalized until late summer of 2015, providing a continual opportunity for the EJ Forum as a whole and Members individually to help shape how respective states will address the new requirements.

Stay tuned in February for more information regarding state based advocacy plans.
